Even with ERE, you need to run it twice, perhaps conditionally if the first hits, as you used both start and end field '|'. Otherwise, you miss the following adjacent fields on a line like: "123.|456."
You can add pipes to both ends for the substitute and then remove them:
I could have removed both added pipes with one substitute "s/^|\(.*\)|$/\1/" but these back references are a bit slower, in my experience, so I avoid them where possible.
Two passes can be avoided if a less careful pattern is sought, like "s/\([0-9]\).|/\1/", as it encompasses only one pipe. It mangles any non-numeric field with a trailing numer and dot, like "123|The field count of this line is 3.|xyz".

fclose(3)).
o $fields
- An array of values.
o $delimiter
- The optional $delimiter parameter sets the field delimiter (one character only).
o $enclosure
- The optional $enclosure parameter sets the field enclosure (one character only).
o $escape_char

EXAMPLES
Example #1
fputcsv(3) example
<?php
$list = array (
array('aaa', 'bbb', 'ccc', 'dddd'),
array('123', '456', '789'),
array('"aaa"', '"bbb"')
);
$fp = fopen('file.csv', 'w');
foreach ($list as $fields) {
fputcsv($fp, $fields);
}
fclose($fp);
?>
The above example will write the following to file.csv:
aaa,bbb,ccc,dddd
123,456,789
"""aaa""","""bbb"""
NOTES
Note
If PHP is not properly recognizing the line endings when reading files either on or created by a Macintosh computer, enabling the
auto_detect_line_endings run-time configuration option may help resolve the problem.
